This cake is FANTASTIC!!! I love pumpkin, and this cake was a dream come true. It was a real hit with my family, and co-workers. It's the first time I've ever made homemade cake, and I was surprised at how moist and flavorful it was. Thank you for this recipe, it will become tradition in my house form now on!

This recipe is delicious! I made it for my friends and husband, and they raved about it. We ate it warm, with a little powdered sugar on top, and a large dollop of whipped cream. As my friend put it, "It tastes exactly like a pumpkin pie, but it's a cake!" The recipe said to sprinkle powdered sugar on top, but I was wondering if I should mix up some glaze instead, and I'm glad I didn't. The cake was sweet enough, and I think a glaze would have been overkill. This cake was awesome, and it now has a permanent spot in my recipe box. I will be making this recipe again, because it's perfect for the holidays!

I took the advice of others and used 1/2 cup unsweetened appleasuce and 1/2 cup oil to cut back on the fat. And I also used 1 cup Splenda and 1 1/2 cups white sugar. Other than those 2 changes- I followed the recipe exactly. It turned out nicely--not too sweet- but great with confectioners sugar on top. I love pumpkin and I will use this recipe again.

This cake was easy to make and went over well on Christmas Day. The texture is more of a denser, pumpkin bread than a cake but it has very nice flavor. It is reminiscent of a spice cake. I used a homemade cream cheese frosting with this cake. Will make again!
